As mentioned above, it's too verbose and I'd suggest summarizing it down to some bullet points that your doctor can use as an outline of the letter. AOPA is constantly changing their site (and the current design is terrible!), but here's the current <a href="http://www.aopa.org/members/pic/medical/certification/introduction/status.html" rel="nofollow">link</a> (requires an AOPA member login). Good luck! Matt —

I've spoken to the aopa and they didn't seem to think that it would be that big of a deal, but that I would need a letter from my Doctor. You had mentioned in your article something about a sample letter on the aopa website. I've looked and can't seem to find anything like that. Do you happen to have a link to it? Sir,
